PLEASE STOP THINKING YOU NEED TO MAKE A PODCAST

So you're making a podcast about nothing?


Why would we waste our time listening to 3 year AEs talk about their difficult decision to pursue an SDR job instead of taking over the family business and how they wake up at 4am to go on a 12 mile run before making 500 cold calls.

๐Ÿ˜‚. Perfect. Funny thing is, I just heard a parent of a pre-teen refer to the style as โ€œbroccoli hairโ€ and I instantly knew what it was. And here we are.

I think this is the new bowl and suck cut. No, Iโ€™m not referencing bowling porn. This is where they take a bowl, place it on the victimโ€™s head and cut around the edge. The suck part is the hole at the bottom of the bowl where the attach a vacuum hose. So, it all comes to life when the bowl comes off.

I just saw a post about a couple of Aussie women who are doing a true crime style podcast to discover who pooped on the floor at their wedding. I think Iโ€™ll listen to that first

This is the worst thing about linkedin. Everything has to be positive which is so ironic because life is not all positive. Not all ideas are good, not all ideas are bad. Can we please be realistic on fucking linkedin Jesus Christ.

You know heโ€™s looking himself to start selling courses

Someone summed it up beautifully โ€œhit pclub onceโ€ฆโ€

Mr Big Bollocks over here who happened to be at Gong at the right time in the right place.

I think anyone who does Sales2Sales should be banned from giving sales advice

Look man all i'm saying is that there is a BIG sales influencer on LI right now who is now podcast host for a well known sales brand in the SaaS space.
He was previously the sales manager, now he's just the host. Maybe he wasn't making numbers but now is just a podcast host telling people how to hit numbers?

I've been on the ropes of making one, not related to sales at all but more around talking to people who have gone through similar experiences to mine.

Honest advice? Donโ€™t.

I think you think people care more than they do.

Itโ€™s sounds incredibly time consuming for non-monetary gain.

Spend the time doing something fun - gym, family, sports, relaxing, massage etc.

P.s you may end up on one of these posts ๐Ÿ˜‚

It won't be sales related at all. It's more sounds people getting deported from the States and other countries and their experience. Not looking to make money, just share experiences.
Sales podcasts in their majority are corny and sometimes cringy. But there are some that slip through the cracks that actually share good practices.

Having said that (my last comment) if you made a podcast where you call all these sales influencers on and straight up ask them where they come up with their bullshit stories from - Iโ€™d tune in

"Who have gone through similar experiences to mine"? - you think you can create an entire podcast around that concept? You would have enough content around that for maybe a 20 minute segment. I'm sorry but you're asking to be roasted.

I love how people jump the gun and think "my experiences" are only about sales, it's quite funny. Y'all need to get off your high horse, be a little more curious people!

Do good sales people really have time to do a podcast?!?

I love all the advice from people that were good at sales once and are still giving advice, most of which is either cliche or super obvious.

If they chose to only work and do a podcast, they could, but they would have no life. Which most of these people don't have anyway.
100% of the best sellers I have ever worked with are totally silent on LinkedIn. No influencer BS vibes.
On the other hand, the only legit sales influencers that I know of are full-time training/influencing. They can't train people and have a day job. Also, this group consists of (2), yep just two that are legit. Everyone else, like you said, regurgitates outdated/obvious advice.

Just listened. Totally pointless podcast.
It boils down to "we do not care". Why would I care about how some sales person grew up??? Podcasts are supposed to provide value and this does not provide an ounce of value. So many things wrong.

No one asked for this.
